XLVII. Edmund Randolph to Beverley Randolph^[1]

Phila., June 21, 1787.

Mr. Wythe, before he left us, requested that the Executive might, if they thought proper, appoint a successor to him. I informed him that I doubted whether, at this advanced stage of the business, they would be so inclined—especially, too, as there was a hope of his return; but that I would mention the affair to you.
